Channels & viewing

[mtnjade13]

I watch multiple different shows on my Roku Channel and I have come to find out that there are missing episodes. I was watching Walker, Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris and there were multiple episodes missing from the season lineups and some where duplicates. Is there a way to fix this. I love watching the show because it takes me back to my childhood and it is a bit frustrating to not be able to watch the episodes in order.

I see season 1,2,3,6,7 only but missing season 4,5,8,9 as I looked it up before purchasing this ultra unit thinking it gave all episodes. My free plug in did the same.

I thought by buying the device you get all.

We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention. It's possible that the content was removed as TV show and movie content availability may vary at times on The Roku Channel. We would recommend checking periodically to see if the content returns in the future.

We hope for your understanding regarding this matter.

Dear Takashi O. (Roku Community Moderator),

Check back later, lol. That is a lame answer to the OP's original complaint. Roku's way of celebrating the 30 year anniversary of "Walker, Texas Ranger" by omitting half of the episodes is really disappointing. Roku needs to do better.

Missing most episodes on all shows on Roku and Brit- Box.  Upsetting, as I pay for Brit-Box.   Prime is aok so it’s not the router or Wi-Fi provider.

For content on The Roku Channel, Roku has to license that content from the content owners. Very often, the content owners will not permit Roku (or other providers, this isn't specific to Roku) to have access to all seasons and on occasion to individual episodes. That is beyond Roku's control. They can either accept the seasons/episodes offered or they can't stream any of the content. So they likely decide to at least offer some of the content. 

As for BritBox, you have to take that up with the BBC. Roku has no control over the content available in the channels from other providers. The Roku Channel is the only channel that they have control of the content, with the restrictions I mentioned above.
